Kingdom of the Suebi
The Kingdom of the Suebi, also called the Kingdom of Gallaecia, was a Germanic post-Roman kingdom, one of the first ones to separate from the Roman Empire.

It maintained its independence until 585, when it was annexed by the Visigoths, and was turned into the sixth province of the Visigothic Kingdom of Hispania.
